TAKATĀPUI - CANCELED
(AUS/ AOTEAROA)
★★★★
“Biting and dark, yet still inviting…Rangi creates an ethereal world of queer joy.”
- Time Out Sydney
An electrifying storm of story and sound by antidisciplinary artist Daley Rangi.
Armed with only a microphone, a vocal processor, and a killer pair of heels, antidisciplinary artist Daley Rangi holds a solidary flame in a blistering call to action. Takatāpui shines a light on the shadowy events of one fateful night, grappling with the freedom and violence that arrives with self-expression. Contested memories unspool around the audience - vividly conjured by a compelling combination of visceral lyricism, cavernous soundscapes, disco outbreaks, and macabre humour.
Rangi unearths the complexities of resistance and resilience with welcoming levity and candour, offering transformative storytelling to haunt and to heal.
This event is canceled due to the upcoming cyclone.

THE ARTIST
Daley Rangi
WRITER/PERFORMER/SOUND DESIGNER
Daley Rangi (Te Atiawa) is an antidisciplinary artist generating the unpredictable, speaking truth to power and reorienting hierarchies. They’ve made a lot of art - not all of it good, but most of it interesting. Their practice has, thus far, tackled ecological sovereignty, disability ethics, ideological virality, contested histories, and queer labour. For them, self-biographies are all-at-once discomforting, superfluous, and crucial; in constant dialogue with colonial systems. They currently reside on Gadigal country.
